I would say that we should encourage people to use kde-apps.org to  
deploy their plasmoids. Everything we ship we must be sure of it's  
quality.

At the same time I'm in favor or organizing kdeplasma-addons to be  
what the name says: addons that are good to have but not required.

+1 to remove the plasmoids/dataengines/etc.. that are not being  
properly maintained or the author does not care about it anymore.

I'm sorry I didnt have much time to read carefully your email because  
I'm in a rush to the airport :( But my main points are: we should have  
kdeplasma-addons as a set of plasma stuff that we want to put the KDE  
brand on it, but we should avoid putting anything people would like  
there: for that we have kde-apps.org

Cheers!

PS: as soon as I've more time I'll read carefully your email :)
